The artwork was originally painted in 2018 but the artist chose to retouch the mural after it had been vandalised, as a fitting tribute to the Argentine legendary footballer who died on 25 November 2020.

The mural includes the phrase “He sowed happiness in the people. Watered glory on the earth.” (photo © BA Street Art)
